Everyone who has ever stepped foot in Colorado knows that it’s a jewel. From vibrant cities to tranquil mountainsides, the Centennial State has a little something to offer everyone. But did you know that this jewel houses some real gems that you may not know about? It’s true! Here’s 10 hidden gems in Colorado that you’d never think to visit.
Quite possibly the quirkiest art museum you'll ever visit, the Dikeou Collection (established by siblings Devon & Pany Dikeou) houses several artist's exhibits, special workshops, and two larger-than-life inflatable bunnies.
Unique castle. Interesting history. Potentially offensive tour guide. It's like an unconventional Disneyland!
I've been visiting the Butterfly Pavilion since elementary school and it never loses its magic! When you go, tell Rosie I say "hi" and to please stop haunting my dreams.
At 750 feet, this ain't your mamma's hike!
This picture gives me the willies.. and I kinda like it.
Windy roads, stunning views, and history galore... is this real life?!
This isn't a painting -- Lizard Lake is very real and is ready for your visit!
A 14er with incredible views and minimal crowds.
"The first of its kind anywhere in the world, the ride sits on the edge of a 200-foot cliff above Williams Canyon in Manitou Springs. Those brave enough to ride will be launched 150 feet into the canyon at nearly 100 miles per hour! " Not for the faint of heart (or for me).
Incredible cliff dwellings, art, and special tours -- this is a unique experience that you don't want to miss!
